# P4-Play

Record something useful information and experiments on P4. 

## Usage

This repository will record some information about how I learn P4 from hardly without any knowledge about networking. 

So it will have some basic concept about `networking command in Linux`, `mininet API learning`, and some `P4 spec` knowledge I read from [`p4.org/specs`](https://p4.org/specs/), like `PSA`, `P4_16`. All the practices will base on `P4_16` to illustrate.

* Repository Structure

    * [Installation](Installation/)

        * About install the p4 develop requirement environment. See more under this folder.

    * [P4-playground](P4-playground/)

        * [multiswitch](P4-playground/multiswitch)

            * Using `mininet` with python API support

            * Contain some experiments with P4 and multiple switches scenario.

                * `basic forwarding`

                * `multi-hop route inspection`

                * `load balancing (ECMP)`

        * [run-directly](P4-playground/run-directly)

            * Using `ip` command to build the network environment with single switch.

            * And then using `simple_switch` with P4 directly.

        * [run-mininet](P4-playground/run-mininet)

            * Using `mininet` to build the network environment with single switch.

            * And then using `p4_mininet.py` as P4 class.

            * Implement the basic forwarding scenario.

        * [net_build](P4-playground/net_build)

            * python script for building those scenario.

        * [psa](P4-playground/psa)

            * Record some P4 programs.

    * [Resource](Resource/)

        * Contain the image usage, flowchart source.

    * [docs](docs/)

        * Recording some useful information when you coding an P4 program.

        * And using `papogen` to generate them into static webpages.

## Some notes 

* Check out docs/

    * using command `make` to generate it.

    * using `papogen` as generator.
